CPR Training at 153 Taekwondo – 11/9/2024 @ 2PM
In January 2020, a close relative suffered a major heart attack.
He was home exactly 6 weeks later. Those 6 weeks included 2 weeks of intense physical, speech, and occupational therapy, 2 weeks in recovery, and 2 weeks in cardiac intensive care – only 4 days, of which, was he awake.
None of that would have mattered if his friend wasn’t with him that night and was able to immediately start CPR. This is the inspiration for my black belt project.
